Trivia

The original plan for this game was a game featuring Link from the Legend of Zelda series. Shigeru Miyamoto showed confusion with this, and thought they were making some sort of toy with it. After it was revealed to be a game, Nintendo stopped it. But Miyamoto saw potential, and turned it into Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is revealed to be the prequel to Super Mario 3D World. After beating the final boss, an extended cutscene of the opening for Super Mario 3D World is shown when Captain Toad tries to get the Green Star in the clear pipe Mario and Luigi fixed.

This is the last Mario game of 2014.

This is the first game since Wario's Woods where a Toad is the main playable character.
